Social networks also efficiently build group memory through persistence and attention. On project blogs and wikis, information is continuously available for access and the most useful information gets the most attention through links and editing activity. This collaborative filtering drives the relevant information to prominence to the benefit of the entire community.
Blogs and wikis used with subscription web feeds have a huge advantage over traditional intranets. Knowledge creators publish information in context, improving the value of content, and information is sent to subscribers automatically rather than relying on them to obtain it manually. With the Attensa Feed Server administrators can create standard subscriber lists based on project teams, department management, or any other designation, and target information to exactly who needs it.
Every organization has critical information workflows that can be communicated via RSS feeds. In manufacturing environments, anything from machine status, productivity and yield data, schedules, order and material management, and cost data can be delivered via feeds. Publishing companies can communicate internal information like material costs, order and fulfillment status, and external information including the published content itself.
